On June 26, 2017, just before 12:30 pm, Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a burglary in the 6700 block of Durango Drive, Magnolia, Texas. Upon their arrival, Deputies learned that the victim, a 75 year old female, was inside her residence when she heard someone knocking at her front door. The victim did not answer the door and, a short time later, heard a crash at the back door.

The victim went to investigate the noise and found that four white males had kicked in the door and entered her home. When the victim confronted the males they took off running.

Furthermore, during the investigation, Deputies were able to recover property from one of the suspects that was linked to a burglary of a motor vehicle in another neighborhood. The case is still actively being investigated an additional charges are possible.

Montgomery County Sheriff Rand Henderson would like to thank the citizens from the Durango Creek and Woodlands Oaks Subdivision as well as the Deputies who, through community policing, have gotten involved in the subdivisions. It was through this partnership and the use of social media that four more criminals are behind bars.
